Power Booster

Power Booster
Hi all, bought 1970 Mach 1 which has disk brakes in front drum in back. There is no power booster attached to master cylinder so I was wondering what I need to convert to power brakes
The brake lines have been cut i the back anbd the Master Cylinder has rust on the inside, so I need to replace that. I figured since the brakes all need to be redone from the cylider, lines and pads, etc., I thought well maybe install a booster as well. Would this be tough?
I am new to restorations so I really would appreciate any feedback

CSRP is a great resource! I recently completed this on my own 1970, but mine was a coupe and it had drums all the way around. The most important thing for you to do is to see if your firewall has a stamp where the booster should go. It should be a small line and would make the original hole appear oval. Should look something like this. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nJDavGdQhB...0/100_3495.JPG
Secondly, you will have to get a new pedal as well since the power pedal needs to be longer as the pivot point is higher up on the pedal assembly itself.
Again, CSRP will be a great resource for all kinds of information, and in honesty I am glad that I went ahead with the power brake system, but I don't think that it was necessary but that is just my .02
